Anyone with basic audio understanding, and half an hour with an old real-ro-real tape deck knows that you can make almost anything sounds like anything else if you alter the time base and frequency.
I bet the same source could be made to sound like Fairies farting around a campfire.
..our server's RAID went bad just as Hurricane Dennis hit... backing up information online would make stuff like this less incredibly painful.
First I am curious, aparently your RAID has the same sensitivity that many animals exhibit just before an earthquake; aparently your RAID has trancended to a new level of machine conciousness!
But serously, just back up to DVD, and keep a few day old backup DVD at home.
Back in 1982, and I was looking for a part-time, afternoon only tech job while I went to school in the morning.
I printed up a bunch of resumes, got out the phone book (yellow pages) and just started going down companies who I thought would hire tech people.
I just started with the A's and spend afternoons driving to the address and leaving my (single page) resume.
WHen I got to the C's, and I was leaving my resume with a particular company, the receptionist said "hold on" and she walked away.
She came back and said, ok go on in. I went into the VP of Development's Office (he was the whole dev dept) and he asked how I knew about the job. I said what job. Aparently he was just about to place an adv in the newspaper. We chatted for about 10 minutes, and I got the job.
This is sound advice. Years ago, as Sr Unix Sys Admin, and 'backup prime' it was my job to drive the backup tapes to and from the off-site storage. It was a 15 minute drive each way. Made for a nice break on Mondays.

and feel Cisco helps violate human rights (and you find this intolerable) just sell your shares.
No, they let go of their highest compensated engineers. To a bean counter, we are all the same.

I use to have an office (2nd floor) right across the driveway of a Hooters Resteraunt. From May-Sep, every wednesday was car wash day.
It was better than free donuts.

And oh yes, I had a 100% success rate.
